strong team. Past positions in the pen.

clubs secure for the race to finish, base
ball in the south can and will be made
entertaining and profitable. FREQ from

The Birmingham team Is now complete,
with fourteen men signed, as follows:
Goldsby, manager and left Geld; Dunoc,
center; Cahill, right; Burks, short; Lynch,
first base; Bitlman, second; Whitehead,
third; Sullivan, Dooms, Gibson and Leach,
pitchers; CantillOn, Bailey and Scpark

catcher will probably be signed later.

 It is conceded by the best posted stock men of the range country that the good fight waged by the range live stock papers has had th' effect of increasing values at least $2 per head. This means in round numbers thirty millions of dollars, and furnishes an unanswerable req son why cattlemen should stand by the papers that are making the war in their interest. The stockmen ought to know, if they do not know 1t, that they are utterly powerless to break down the combinations that have throttled their business. without the aid of their live stock papers. Nobody cares how much they swear and roar about the lob bjes of the hotels. Such outbreaks may relieve their accumulated in- dignation, but they will not increase the price of beef.-The Range Jour- nal.

The Albuquerque Democrat says the cattle men of New Mexico and Arizona cannot be too careful in guarding against the dreaded pleu- ro-pneumonia. There is but little doubt of the truth of the report that several we'll defined eases of the disease were found at Santa Barbara, California. They were ta- ken there from abroad. but that makes no difference so far as the fact is concerned. With the dis ease in Texas and in California we are threatened on both sides, and the legislature now in session ought to take steps immediately to do all that can be done by legislation to protect the territory against the introduction of this disease. It's appearance among the herds of New Mexico would be nothing short of a calamity.

At the meeting of the stock yards men in St. Louis last week, Mir. L.. A. Allen, of Kansas City, made a vehement address. He declared that the cattlemen were being jump ed upon from all points. First they are prescribed from proper privi- leges on the reserved lands of the United States. Then the govern ment shows itself willing to saddle a lot of cormorants on the interests of ranchmen, who could, if they desired, with one swoop wipe out of existence millions of dollars of property Next, the railroads jump up and slash on exorbitant rates for transportation to seaboard points /; and, as if this were not enough, again the government comes to the front and issues the mandate that a most important industry, the manufacture and sale of oleomar- garine should be taxed. Where is all this to end? he asked.-Ex.

The Tucson Star, of the 18th ult., contains the following mention ot the action of the Santa Cruz Stock Growers Association, at a meeting held on the 14th ut. :
 Resolved, That in view of the long distance from the market, east or west, and particularly of the limited demands of the latter when reached, that the stock growers of Southern Arizona are brought face to face with the absolute necessity of devising some means of reach ing the markets of the world with their beef, less expensive and more practical than is at present afforded by ordinary railroad transporta- tion, which eats up their substance and leaves them the empty honors only, of paying heavy taxes and owning property which in the end

 The Colorado Cattle Growers Association, by it's secretary, H. B Metcalf, has just rendered to the President of the organization re- port of the years doings. The number of cattle shipped out oi Colorado in 1886, was 122,67S; to-
 al number of cattle consumed in Colorado, 33,151 consumed al points named below: Denver, 1S,- 604; Leadville, 5,643; Pueblo, g. 6S2; Aspen and vicinity, 2,515 i; Durango and vicinity, 2,O91; San Luis Valley, 1,044; Grand June ton, 4S2. It is estimated that at othe points in the State, B, ,151 cat tie was consumed, making q grand total consumed of 66,302. The total number of cattle shipped out and consumed IS shown to be 1885, 980. The number of cattle ship ped out and driven into Colorado from points not within the State of Texas, was 6,431, consisting of 3,691 steers, 2,304 cows, and 436 bulls. From Texas over trails, there came 1S5,O52, mainly steers, making a total of 190,4S3. There were shipped, and driven out of Colorado, over trails, to Montana, WyiSming, Dakota, Kansas and Nebraska, 106,447 head. Itis shown by these figures that the decrease in the number of cattle in Colo rado in 1886, was 104,644.

A Kansas City firm which re cent y purchased a sumber of hogs from this valley, is contemplating the purchase of some 5000 acres of land here. If a suitable tract can be secured, it will be set out in alfalfa, and the raising of hogs en- gagged in on an extensive scale. The opportunity is certainly pre- sented for a profitable business, as hogs, breed, develop and fatten more rapidly in this valley than in any other place on the continent. Gazette.

History does not record a failure of a movement of the kind which the cattlemen have begun for relief from the tyranny and oppression they have suffered at the hands of the dressed beef ring. Such iniqui- tous combinations have been or ganized before, and for time have
 louriched, but when the pent-ul' indignation of the oppressed once breaks forth 1t never fails of sue cess. The cattlemen have enlisted for the war and they will not sur render a single point at issue. They intend to have just compensation for their labor and will submit no longer to organized robbery. The -'hicago syndicate must go.-The Range Journal.

The track of the Prescott and Arizona Central Railroad was laid past the military headquarters at Whipple, on the morning of the 31st ut. On the arrival of the first engine on the reservation, a salute of twenty-two guns was fired. The band stationed at the headquarters played a number of airs, while a detachment of troops were drawn up in line. The road was to be completed the same day, and regu- lar trains to commence running on the day following.

A Washington dispatch of the 22d ut. says the Indian Bureau is proceeding on the theory that the pending measure to divide lands in severalty will go through. The eff feet of the bill has been calculated as follows Besides the exceptions in the bill, there are, according to the present years returns, in the United States 148 reservations, con taining an area of 14S,13S square miles, or 94,808, LA acres of land. These reservations contain a popu- lation of 151 1893 Indians, which, according to the method of compu- tation adopted by the Indian Blu reau, would give about 30,000 fam flies, to the head of each of which would be given 160 acres of land, while at least 240 acres more would be averaged to each family, requir- ing about 100000 acres of agri- cultural lands for allotments. In addition to this, the increase allow ed within the discretion of the Sec retary of the Interior, in grazing lamps, would bring the amount re- quired up to about 20,000,00O acres It is thus estimated that the Gov ernment would be able to throw open to settlement and sell for the Indians at least 75,000,000 acres of land. According to a table. just compiled, there are now in the United States 165 reservations, con- taining 212,407 square miles, or 135,99S,101 acres, with a popula
 tion of about 100000 Indians. These very figures are interpreted by the defense association, which is fighting the severalty bill, to mean a large field for '1and sharks"

 An adjourned meeting of the Pima County Ranehmen's Associa- tion was held at the Palace Hotel, Parlors last evening, Chairman Royal A. Johnson, presiding, and Hon. Brewster Cameron as Secre- tary.
 Gen. R. A. Johnson introduced the following resolutions which were unanimously adopted:
 Whereas, Pleuro-pneumonia has destroyed $1,OOO,OOO worth of cat tie in England and $4,000,OOO in Australia; and whereas, notwith- standing the stringent quarantine regulations against Europe, thatin- Sidious disease has been introduced into the United States, where it has already destroyed cattle amounting to many millions in value; and whereas, the recent outbreak in Chicago seriously establishes the fact that this terrible disease is gradually approaching the range country, where no effective quaran- tine can be maintained and where it's introduction will destroy invest ments amounting to more than S6OO,O00,O0O; therefore
 Resolved, That our delegate in Congress is earnestly requested to devote his best efforts to the sup port of the bill now being prepared under the auspices Of the Interna- tional Range Association, for the determination of pleuro-pneumo- oia in the United States.
 Resolved, That copy of these resolutions be furnished by the Secretary to the delegate and dele gate elect.
 Then followed a warm discussion US to the advisability of estaDI1ssh- ing quarantine against the State of Texas, all Texas cattle to be held on the Arizona line three months, on the ground that the Governor of Texas had no author ity to establish quarantine against States infested with pleuro-pneu- monia. The fear was expressed that diseased cattle would be ship ped to Texas from infected States and thence re-shipped to Arizona Mir. Cameron expressed the opinion that the Texas Legislature, which convenes early in January, would give the Governor ample quaran- tine power to exclude all conta- gious diseases. He recently re- turned from Texas, where many prominent cattlemen assured him that Texas would cooperate with the range cattle country in any movement to crush out contagious bovine diseases. MT. Cameron was convinced that the entire Texas delegation in Congress would favor an appropriation of one million dollars or more to exterminate pleuro-pneumonia.
